We will distribute free tickets to each graduate participating in the ceremony. Each graduate participating in the ceremony will be able to pick up six (6) tickets beginning Wednesday, May 9. Tickets will be available at the front desk in the Dean's Office the week before commencement. Tickets must be picked up by noon on Friday, May 18.

If you do not need all of the tickets you receive, you may share them with other graduates or return them to the front desk. Tickets returned to the Dean's Office will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at Hogg Memorial Auditorium beginning at 2:00 p.m. the day of the ceremony. However, feel free to coordinate directly with your fellow graduates to get the number of tickets you need.
